Clay Dirt
Clay dirt is a dense, low-permeability soil used where you need the ground to hold water rather than drain it. Pond construction, levee repair, and capping applications all depend on clay's natural ability to resist water movement. We deliver same-day in bulk truckloads across Jefferson Parish.

About This Product
Clay Dirt for Ponds, Levees, and Sealing
Clay dirt behaves the opposite of most fill materials. Instead of draining, it seals. Its tight particle structure creates a near-impermeable barrier that stops water from passing through, which is exactly what a pond liner, dam, or retention basin needs.
Jefferson Parish sits on a foundation of Mississippi River alluvial deposits, and natural clay is part of that geological picture. Clay fill goes into pond and lake construction across the region. It gets used on levee repair projects where the embankment needs a low-permeability core. It caps landfills, lines drainage swales where you want to direct flow rather than absorb it, and provides a stable, compactable base where standard fill dirt would be too permeable for the application.
If your project needs material that holds water in place rather than letting it pass, clay dirt is the call.
